This guy I know has a female who gave birth to 5 kittens last year. For the first 2 weeks they were doing fine. Then in the 3rd week, they all died within that week. Two of them on Monday, one on Wednesday and the last two on Friday. It was the saddest thing. The vet said that it sounded like cat distemper and there was nothing that could have been done.

Maybe this was the same thing that happened to the 4 week old kittens.

Thats very sad that these Kittens have passed on before they really got a chance to experience and enjoy life.
Proper Cat Care and Spaying would have prevented these needless deaths.
These Kitten are Now Eternal Kittens and now are with the Pet Angel Army.
These was no need for this to happen.

She won't take them anywhere, but to her new place out in the country. The cats will be outside.

Then being outside is almost a worse fate than they being unsupervised with the lab. There are far worse predators outside than dogs. I certainly hope she is getting them spayed and neutered, especially the mother, so she does not have this problem again!
